morrow afternoon to cool off, and appear for
trial. Mrs Smith appeared To see about her
husband, who was arrested on her complaint
for abusing his family. Tho Judge thought
that severe lecture might prove beneficial,
but she declared that she 'hadnt been liv.

and knew him better than any Judge in the
country" She thought that IA couple of
weeks in Jail would do him more good than
anything else The court concluded to put

FINANCIAL.

New YORK, Dec. 17.-[Special Telegram to
the BEE. l-SToCKs-Th stock market to-day
was devoid Of interest and too narrow to
cause special comment by operators. Trad

appeared. AS this was the most favorable
witnessed in months, showing an increase in
the reserve of S36l, ,475 and a decrease in
loans of s2,0SS0OO, it induced few large
room traders to purchase moderately and
prices advanced slightly. The close was
firm, but the change was unimportant. The

There are prospects for part OF the business
Of the Avoca court being Topped of. Here
tofore criminal cases, taken to the district
court on appeal from that part Of the county
have been heard at Avoca. Colonel Daily has
made motion in these cases TO have them
oil remanded to the district court here, on the
ground that the Avoca branch has no iuris-
dction. The motion is being held under nd
visemcnt by Judge Loofbourow. II sustained,
it will do away with considerable OF the busi-
ness of the Avoca court, and there will doubt
less be some revival of the old feeling that
Avoca is not getting the conveniences and

Not So Greedy After All.

County Clerk Shea takes very cody the
sharp criticisms made by the grandmother Of
Broadway in regard to his securing an in-
junction against the Union Pacific. He pro-
tests, however, against the bold, bad lie
about his having asked such high price for his
lots that the Union depot company would not
buy them. He says that he offered the lots at
several hundred dollars less to the Union
depot company than he was actually offered
by private parties, and as the company
agreed to take them, he refused the other
offer. After thus losing the sale of the lots
to private parties, he says the Union depot
company went back ON its agreement.
